Trivia
'''Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.'''


 * Thomas is the only paternal figure in Mabel's life (save for, perhaps, the hound and hare) that wanted her. Because Mabel does not get to be happy, apparently, he was never able to see her.
 * Thomas says the House does not want the Martins happy; however, the House does want Mabel, at least, to be happy, so long as she doesn't leave.
 * In episode 39, Anna mentions knowing Mabel's father's name. Mabel, in that universe, is at least be aware of her father and what happened to him. In the canonical universe, she doesn't appear to be.
